    Mel,
    We have all been thinking about you and Chris. I am so sorry to hear that things have gotten harder for the two of you. I'll be thinking about you and praying for you as Chris makes some final decisions in the next few days. I hate that you are going through this. Holding you in the light.

    Aloha,
    Kathleen

    Oh Mel
    I am so sorry for this lates news. Hopefully, they will come up with a treatment plan Chris is comfortable doing and will do. Of course, ultimately, the decision is his to make. Please tell him about Jennie (idlehunters) she had mets to the liver and lungs a short time ago and now is NED and George, who also has mets to liver and lungs and is doing well with treatment.

    Take care and come back and let us know what the new scan shows.

    Aw Mel...
    This is just heartwrenching. I'm so sorry to hear this. They have jerked you guys around for 5 months about the liver lesions and on again/ off again lung stuff. Gosh I'm so sorry to hear this news.

    Chris is still probably worn out from the reversal. Maybe he'll feel more like fighting this once he heals a bit more.

    Praying for y'all,
    Diane

    Hi Mel
    Thanks for checking in. I am so sorry to hear about more bad news with Chris's condition. What a horrible time for you both. And how discouraging for Chris. Like others here I hope that once the full extent of the cancer is known, that there is a treatment plan that can work for him, and that he can accept as helpful.

    Thinking of you both and holding you in prayer.

    Hi, Mel

    I'm so sorry to hear about this too. Chris has sure been through so much and I know we all were hoping for good news after his big surgery he just went through.

    I know he must still be recovering from that surgery and then to be faced with this, it's just numbing to hear the news.

    It is a helpless feeling to not be able to fix your loved one's condition, but you are so very strong as well! And you've been right there step for step with him - and what a comfort that must be for you both and especially for Chris.

    Chris is probably gathering his thoughts right now and is in that reflective period, where he's sorting and weighing his options to make his decision. I hope that he continues to go on if his condition looks favorable to do so.

    All of us are in your corner!

    -Craig
